La Rosas is a striking tribute to the Wynwood-adjacent bar that became a cultural pulse point for Miami’s creative underground. Inspired by the raw vibe of the iconic venue “Las Rosas,” this piece fuses nightlife grit with symbolic storytelling.

At the heart of the canvas coils a black snake, its spine curved upward into the shape of a rising stem — transforming seamlessly into a red rose at its head. But this is no ordinary bloom: fangs pierce through the petals, blurring the line between beauty and danger. Radiating lines suggest a pulse or spotlight, as if the rose is performing — much like the bar’s constant flow of local talent and live music.

Speckled with golden paint splatter and grounded with the number 11,948 — the artist’s lived days at the time of creation — this piece is part time capsule, part emblem. It captures the spirit of a place where art, chaos, and nightlife collided, and where survival often meant blooming with fangs.
